How to markdown nested list items in Bitbucket

Question

Possibilities   It is possible to nest a bulleted-unnumbered list into a higher numbered list  But in the bulleted-unnumbered list the automatically numbered list will not start  Its is not supported    To start a new numbered list after a bulleted-unnumbered one  put a piece of text between them  or a subtitle  A new numbered list cannot start just behind the bulleted  The interpreter will not start the numbering     in practice   Dog   German Shepherd - with only a single space ahead  Belgian Shepherd - max 4 spaces ahead    Number in front of a line interpreted as a  numbering bullet   so making the indentation      and ignores the written digit  Places generates its own  in compliance with the structure  So it is OK to use only just  1  ones  to get your numbered list    Or whatever integer number  even of more digits  The list numbering will continue by increment   1   However  the first item in the numbered list will be kept  so the first leading will usually be the number  1     Malinois - 5 spaces makes 3rd level already    MalinoisB - 5 spaces makes 3rd level already  Groenendael - 8 spaces makes 3rd level yet too    Tervuren - 9 spaces for 4th level - Intentionaly started by  55   TervurenB - numbered by  88   in the source code     Cat   Siberian  a  SiberianA - problem reproduced  letters  i e   a  here  not recognized by the interpreter as  numbering     No matter  it is indented to its separated line  in the source code   Siamese   a  so written manually as a workaround misusing bullets  unnumbered list

4 spaces do the trick even inside definition list  Endpoint     listAgencies   Method    GET   Arguments        level  - bla-bla         withDisabled  - should we include disabled  AGENT s         userId  - bla-bla   I am documenting API using BitBucket Wiki and Markdown proprietary extension for definition list is most pleasing  MD s table syntax is awful  imaging multiline and embedding requirements

Even a single space works     Just open this answer for edit to see it      Nested lists  deeper levels     ---- leave here an empty row     first level A item - no space in front the bullet character      second level Aa item - 1 space is enough          third level Aaa item - 5 spaces min         second level Ab item - 4 spaces possible too     first level B item   Nested lists  deeper levels    first level A item - no space in front the bullet character   second level Aa item - 1 space is enough   third level Aaa item - 5 spaces min  second level Ab item - 4 spaces possible too  first level B item  Nested lists  deeper levels      Skip a line and indent eight spaces   as said in the editor-help  just on this page    first level A item - no space in front the bullet character    second level Aa item - 1 space is enough        third level Aaa item - 5 spaces min       second level Ab item - 4 spaces possible too   first level B item
